API

HTTP Status Checker

Send a lightweight browser request to a public URL and inspect status, headers, redirect target, or CORS limitations.

Requests run from the browser. Some URLs block cross-origin access, so a curl fallback is included when that happens.

URL Public endpoint

Best for public endpoints. If a site blocks browser requests, use the generated curl command as a fallback.

Status result Waiting

curl fallback Fallback

Browser checks are ideal for public endpoints. If CORS blocks the response, the curl command gives you a direct terminal fallback.

FAQ

SEO core content

Is this HTTP status checker free?

Yes.

Why does some URLs return a browser error instead of a status code?

Many servers block cross-origin browser requests. When that happens, the page gives you a curl fallback instead.

Does this tool support private endpoints?

Not reliably. It works best with public URLs that allow browser access.

Is my URL stored?

No. The page does not send your input to a custom backend.

How To Use It

Search-friendly educational copy

How browser-based status checks work

This check runs straight from the browser, so it is quick but limited by whatever cross-origin rules the target sets.

If the server blocks browser access, the page points that out and gives you a curl fallback.

When to move beyond a static tool

For private APIs, authenticated endpoints, or real monitoring, you will eventually want something server-side.

This version stays lightweight on purpose so you can do a quick public check without setting up anything heavier.
